Morphologically, the fungi that destroy trees are also very different.

The fruit body is prostrate, the prostrate body is bent, sessile, sessile with a rudimentary stump, for example, an annual birch tinder with a tubular heminophore.

The heminophore of the bordered tinder grows in layers every year.

The annual tinder has one layer of heminophore on the infertile part.

Various forms of heminophore.

Filming the formation of spores under a microscope.

Honey mushrooms also spread in the form of black cord-like mycelium.

The fruit bodies are always on the surface of the substrate, and the mycelium is inside.

Mycelium destroys wood.

Samples of destruction.

Mycelium under the microscope.

The destruction of wood begins with the penetration of mycelium into the heart-shaped rays of the tree.

The process of destruction of wood, taken under a microscope.

If the fungus destroys cellulose, brown rot forms.

The wood cracks into layers, then into prisms and is easily rubbed in the hand.

With white rot, lignin is destroyed first of all.

The wood becomes soft and easily breaks down into individual fibers.

A mixed type of rot is found on growing trees.

Mushrooms also destroy wood in buildings.
